Paid Acquisition Lead

{"type":"string","value":"

What This Role Actually Is

ScaleSource doesn’t need someone who launches campaigns and reports on impressions or clicks. We need someone who owns the full funnel:

Ad Landing Page Lead Capture Booked Sales Call Qualified Opportunity Sales Pipeline Closed Revenue

If something anywhere in that chain is blocking revenue—whether it’s targeting, creative, the landing page, the offer, tracking, follow-up, or the channel itself—it’s your job to find it, test a fix, and measure the result. The goal isn’t a good-looking ad dashboard. It’s a paid acquisition system that reliably produces sales-qualified pipeline and revenue.

What You’ll Own

Build, launch, and optimize paid campaigns across Meta, Google, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, and other channels when the business case supports it

Own the funnel end to end, and diagnose exactly where it’s breaking: targeting, creative, landing page, offer, or follow-up

Continuously optimize landing pages for conversion, working with Marketing and Development

Build and maintain audiences: retargeting, first-party data, lookalikes, and lead lists

Keep attribution clean across Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Google Tag Manager, GA4, CRM, and UTMs

Run a structured testing roadmap. Every meaningful test needs a hypothesis, an expected result, and a way to measure it

Watch competitors and market trends for audiences, messaging, and creative angles worth testing

Build reporting that ties ad spend directly to pipeline and revenue, not just platform metrics

Work with Sales on lead quality, objections, show rates, and pipeline progression, and turn that feedback into real changes to targeting and creative

Make budget calls based on pipeline and revenue evidence, not platform preference, and recommend what to scale, continue, rebuild, or cut

How Success Is Measured

North Star

Three numbers this role is ultimately accountable for. Everything else exists to explain why they’re moving.

Paid-Sourced Sales-Accepted Pipeline — how much qualified pipeline paid acquisition is generating

Paid-Sourced Closed-Won Revenue — how much revenue can be attributed back to paid acquisition

Blended Customer Acquisition Cost — evaluated against ScaleSource’s actual unit economics and CAC payback period, not an outside benchmark

Real Targets

Core paid landing pages: under 2.5 seconds LCP on mobile

Sales call show-up rate: 70%+

SQL acceptance rate: 80%+ once qualification criteria are established

End-to-end conversion tracking completeness: 95%+

Platform vs. CRM conversion variance: under 15%, investigate anything higher

Structured tests launched: 4+ per month, with a 20-40% win rate as a healthy range. A test only counts if it has a hypothesis, expected outcome, measurement method, result, and next action

Everything else, CTR, CPC, CPM, cost per lead, lead-to-SQL rate, cost per booked call, blended CAC, and win rate, gets a real baseline established first, then improved from there. These are diagnostic and progress metrics, not fixed targets, and none of them count as success on their own if they don’t translate into qualified pipeline.

Cadence: lead-quality review with Sales weekly, funnel and pipeline review weekly, budget allocation review monthly or sooner when the data calls for it.

What Success Looks Like at 90 Days

By the end of 90 days, ScaleSource should have moved from experimenting with paid advertising to operating a measurable system tied to pipeline and revenue. The expectation isn’t that every campaign wins in 90 days. The expectation is that we stop guessing.

By Day 30: Understand and Instrument the Funnel

Audit existing campaigns, creative, offers, landing pages, and conversion flow

Verify tracking end to end: ads, landing pages, forms/Calendly, GA4, pixels/tags, CRM

Build full-funnel reporting from spend through closed revenue

Set up a documented testing roadmap and a regular feedback loop with Sales

By Day 60: Establish Baselines and Start Improving

Establish real baselines: lead-to-SQL rate, cost per booked call, conversion rates, blended CAC, lead quality by channel

Launch campaigns in the channels and verticals with the strongest case, and start testing audiences, creative, offers, and landing pages

Ship at least one real landing page or funnel improvement

Show at least one case where sales feedback changed targeting, creative, or messaging

By Day 90: Prove the Acquisition Path

A funnel that’s measurable end to end, from ad to closed revenue

Measurable improvement on at least one full-funnel metric over the established baseline

Real cost-per-qualified-call and blended CAC numbers established

At least one budget reallocation made on pipeline or revenue evidence, not platform preference

A clear recommendation on where the next ad dollar should go, and what should be scaled, continued, rebuilt, or stopped

Who This Role Is Perfect For

You think like a growth operator, not just a media buyer

You move fast, without waiting on someone else to unblock you

You care about pipeline and revenue more than impressions and clicks

You want ownership of the entire acquisition system, not just the ads inside it

You use data to decide what happens next, and you’re comfortable being wrong

Who This Role Is NOT For

This role is not for someone who:

Considers the job done once a campaign is live

Reports platform metrics as proof that something worked

Optimizes for cheap clicks or cheap leads over real pipeline

Ignores what happens to a lead after it hits Sales

Needs a fixed playbook before making a decision

Keeps spending on a channel out of preference rather than performance

This is an ownership role.
